Schreibman, a former federal prosecutor who has won the endorsement of retiring Rep. Maurice Hinchey, has out-fundraised Democratic opponent Joel Tyner, a teacher, by more than 10-to-1.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has signaled its preference for Schreibman, placing him in its Red to Blue program for top party recruits.

COLORADO

5th District

Lamborn has survived tough primary fights before — in 2006 and 2008, he held off Republican Jeff Crank.

This time, he’s facing Robert Blaha, a wealthy banker who’s digging deep into his personal fortune. The challenger spent more than $720,000 of his money though June 6, and Blaha has outspent Lamborn $804,000 to $590,000, according to Federal Election Commission reports.

The challenger has blasted Lamborn in a flight of TV ads, casting the Republican as a Washington insider who has accomplished little during his three terms while painting himself as a reform-minded newcomer. Lamborn has hit back, attacking Blaha’s business record and airing TV ads highlighting the challenger’s history of late tax payments.

But the last days of the race have produced a rash of negative headlines for Lamborn. Many of them surround recent telephone calls the incumbent made to a pair of state legislative candidates asking them to boycott a video chat sponsored by a local newspaper because he felt the outlet had treated him unfairly.

OKLAHOMA

2nd District

Markwayne Mullin, a plumbing contractor, is the front-runner in the crowded Republican primary for the eastern Oklahoma seat of retiring Democratic Rep. Dan Boren.

Mullin has far out-fundraised his primary opponents — including state Rep. George Faught and former state Rep. Wayne Pettigrew — and is the only candidate to wage a concerted TV ad campaign.

The GOP-oriented seat, which Boren is vacating after four terms, offers Republicans one of their top pickup opportunities. Rob Wallace, a former district attorney, is the favorite to win the Democratic nomination.

SOUTH CAROLINA

7th District

Former Lt. Gov. André Bauer and Horry County Council Chairman Tom Rice are competing in a runoff for a newly drawn, Myrtle Beach-area seat.

Bauer finished ahead of Rice in the June 12 primary, winning 32 percent to Rice’s 27 percent. But Rice received a boost on Friday when he won an endorsement from Gov. Nikki Haley.

The winner of the runoff will likely compete against Democrat Gloria Bromell Tinubu, a former Georgia state representative who is favored in Tuesday’s election against attorney Preston Brittain. Republicans are favored to win the GOP-leaning seat in November.

CORRECTIONS: A previous version of this story referred to NY-19 as NY-27 and misstated that Gloria Bromell Tinubu did not face a runoff election.
